Consular certification of Russian documents for China entails the completion of the following procedures in a strictly observed sequence:

  • notarization of copies of the document subject to certification (before you had to make a so-called “technical” copy of the document; in other words the document had to be fully retyped and then notarized);
  • translation into Chinese and notarized certification of the translation; 
  • certification of the document in the Ministry of Justice;
  • certification of the document in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
  • certification of the document in the consulate of the People's Republic of China.

The People's Republic of China is not a participant in the Gaag Convention, which eliminated the requirement of document certification. This is the reason why it will be necessary to undergo the consular certification procedure, instead of simply being able to have the document apostilled that you need to use in the country.

Often times, Chinese institutions demand the certification of the document confirming the identity of the foreigner. However, in Russia neither the individual's domestic, nor foreigner passport is subject to certification. In this case, you will have to receive a certificate from the migration service institution (the passport table) based on your residence location, containing the information on your passport (passports') details. Such a document may be certified.
